That's why this is a thing.įortunately, disabling notifications inside the App Info screen does not affect the app's other functionality. However, apps that need to do more background processing or need richer data (I guess weather apps?) need more than just push notifications. Services that use Push Notifications (Like Hangouts, Email, lots of chat apps, etc) don't need to be constantly running in the background to function.

If, for example, The Weather Channel's app allowed you to disable the notification/icon, then using that option would possibly allow Android to kill the background process (without knowing that it's important) and it would stop getting weather updates. If an app requires its notification to be displayed 100% of the time, then Android's Garbage Collector/Process Manager is not able to automatically kill it. Let's also take a moment to learn the reason why apps (like weather apps, etc) don't have an option inside the app itself to do this! Go to "Settings", then "Apps", then select the specific app you're looking to hide notifications (and icons) from.Likewise, on some launchers, you can long-press the icon and an options menu comes up with "App Info".On some launchers, you can drag the app out of the drawer, and onto an "App Info" area.

There are a few ways to get to the App Info page for an app. You can go to the App Info screen for an app and uncheck the "Show notifications" option. Interestingly, you don't need an app to hide those notifications.
